THIS JUST IN: Beach Behbeh Fur Seals

National Geographic Digital Nomad Andrew Evans adds cuteporting to his resume in the following clip for baby Antarctic fur seals in South Georgia, South Atlantic. Keep your eyes peeled for the unique blonde seal on the beach…

Wiki says male seals live 15 years, compared to 25 for females. Also large males maintain harems of sometimes over 12 females. That leaves the majority of males out of the breeding game more or less completely.

Perhaps that means you need to be even more specific. Do you chose to be a large male that must constantly fight and win against challengers during the breeding season or a small male that will be defeated repeatedly and may never manage to reproduce?

Besides, the females aren’t exactly always pregnant. There’s the 4 months of lactation with a very cute pup before the next estrus.

*poke* Please CO overlords, could you be more clear when referring to places that could have multiple meanings? I had a blonde moment wondering when South Georgia, as in the US state where I live, got seals! lol I am really good with Geography, but even I wasn’t aware that besides the country of Georgia there was a South Georgia somewhere else, too!

South Georgia [tip of S. America] and south Georgia [one of the US states] are both named for their respective sovereigns at the time: George III and George II of England. South Georgia was named by the epic Captain Cook.
Don’t know who the country of Georgia was named after, but fer shure predates the N&S American Georgies by centuries.
